Interviews for an entry-level admin role at the university. The pay was decent for the time but not a living wage. It included a take-home assignment over a few days where I had to prepare a proposal and draft both an internal and external communication.

Once I got to campus for the semester, they offered me the position and I started right away. Training was pretty straightforward.
